Update on Miss Ella

Well we had our appointment with our specialist this past Monday. Here is the short version. Basically she has a bright spot in her heart which is a calcium deposit which will not cause her any harm etc. It is though a "soft marker" for Downs Syndrome. She also has a bright spot in her bowels which is also a soft marker but could also be a sign of cystic fibrosis, an infection, blood, etc. etc. or it could just be nothing at all. So now I have to be screened for CF and our chances of having a baby with DS went from 1 in 5,900 to 1 in 400. Our neck fold test which can identify 80% of DS babies came back completely normal and all of her bones are measuring spot on for her age so those are  good things! So basically the specialist said he thinks she is just fine and they are just having to be overly cautious etc. I'm glad they are being cautious but it sure does scare the crap out of me!!! The fun part was that the specialist turned on the 3D so we got to see our little girl like never before!! She's still pretty skinny but it was fun to see her face!

They once again gave us actual pictures instead of a CD so the pics aren't the best quality. Her face looks kinda fuzzy but you will get the idea :)
